Hello, my name is Javana, and I am a psychotherapist (LCSW-C). I earned my clinical degree (MSW) from Tulane University and my bachelor's (BSW) from the University of Vermont.
During sessions, we can collaboratively process feelings and emotions at a pace that feels safe and supportive while fostering healing and resilience.
I use evidence-based, holistic, and trauma-informed approaches to help you better understand how anxiety, depression, and trauma can affect the mind and body. In sessions, we can explore how these experiences manifest, identify triggers that may be impacting your daily life, and develop healthy coping and self-regulation strategies. In my work with children and adolescents, I incorporate play and art therapy interventions to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment. These approaches help children feel comfortable expressing themselves while developing a positive relationship with therapy.
I use psychodynamic and psychoanalytic interventions to help you connect current behaviors and emotions to past experiences, including childhood, to identify patterns and triggers. In trauma therapy, we move at your pace in a safe, judgment-free space. I understand trauma can put you in survival mode, and we will work toward safety and healing.
During your first session, you can expect a space completely dedicated to you and your needs.
